Photograph of Jane Bolin (left) and Beverly Cross looking at gravestones that had been removed from graves in Greensburg Cemetery; stones that had been knocked over were piled near the maintenance shed. Members of the Greensburg Historical Society found the stones piled up in the cemetery while there doing research; most of the stones were more than 100 years old. After returning to the cemetery later, they found the stones missing and Township Trustees could not explain their disappearance.
